      Teacher Interview

      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Achievement First (New Haven, CT) in Feb 2017

      Interview

      I applied online and heard back right away. I had a phone interview within a few days. The woman I spoke to was an absolute joy to speak to and made me feel comfortable. After the phone interview I went on campus for an in person interview and guest lesson. Before I taught my lesson they gave me a tour of the school and showed me the classroom I was to teach my lesson in. This really helped me get a great visual for my space. After my guest lesson I was asked to create a pros and cons list of what I thought worked well and what I thought I could improve on. Then we met and they gave me feedback. It was super helpful to hear their critiques. If you do not have a growth mindset this may not be the job for you. You have to be willing to hear feedback (good or bad) The interview went smooth, and at the end of it they offered me a job!

      Easy interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Achievement First (Providence, RI)

      Interview

      The interview process seemed to be quite simple and straight forward. I spoke with a recruiter after I applied and did a phone interview with them before setting up an interview for in person with the principal. The entire process was pretty straight forward and explained prior to the in person interview.
